The Journal of the Spohr Society was published most years between 1970 and 2016. The index to the volumes for 1971 to 1986 follows; for subsequent years, click on the links above or at the foot of the page. Links to the text of some articles are included and others will gradually be added. Please note that early Journals were produced from typewriter scripts which may not be ideally clear to read.

Note that some articles from early Journals were reprinted in Journals 26 and 28. In these instances it is the later version, which is better printed, that is referenced in the links.

New articles may be submitted for display on the site. Please e-mail to enquiries@spohr-society.org.uk. Articles should be in either Word document format (.doc or .docx) or PDF format, if possible.
